I recently received my long sleeve tee shirt and bumper sticker from one of my favorite YouTube golf channels, Spud Run Golf. Now, if you’re looking for tips to fix your slice or improve your putting, this isn’t the channel for that. Instead, Spud Run Golf offers a front-row seat to one man’s dream of creating his very own backyard golf hole—on steroids.
Spud Run Golf is the brainchild of Jeremy Forcum, who transformed his backyard in Chillicothe, Ohio, into a 9-hole golf course, par 33. This isn’t just a simple pitch-and-putt setup; it’s a fully realized course complete with fairways, bunkers, and greens. Jeremy’s journey is chronicled on his YouTube channel, where he shares the highs and lows of building and maintaining this impressive course.
One standout video takes viewers on a hole-by-hole tour of Spud Run Golf, showcasing the unique challenges and features of each hole. It’s fascinating to see how Jeremy has utilized the landscape to create a course that’s both fun and challenging. Another video delves into the story behind Spud Run Golf, providing insight into Jeremy’s passion and the origins of the course’s name.
Beyond the videos, Spud Run Golf has an online store offering a range of merchandise, from apparel like the long sleeve tee I got, to accessories and drinkware. It’s a great way to support Jeremy’s endeavor and snag some cool gear in the process.
For those who prefer social media updates, the Spud Run Golf Facebook page is regularly updated with photos, videos, and news about the course. It’s a community where fellow golf enthusiasts can follow along with Jeremy’s ongoing project and share their own backyard golf dreams.
In a world where golf often feels exclusive and out of reach, Spud Run Golf is a refreshing reminder that with passion and creativity, you can bring the game home. Jeremy’s journey is not just about building a golf course; it’s about chasing dreams, embracing challenges, and sharing the love of the game with others.
So, if you’re looking for inspiration or just want to follow an incredible backyard transformation, check out Spud Run Golf. It’s proof that sometimes, the best golf courses are the ones we create ourselves.
